humble servant

Let me share a scripture I read today. "A man's pride will bring him low, but the humble in spirit will retain honor" (Proverbs 29:23)

This is something that I am very aware of since I was a kid. However, I was one of the proud guys people around me know of. Not that I boast everything to everybody, but I know to my self that I am good at a lot of things. So, I usually don't bow down to anybody, nor do I follow everything that I'm being told to do. I must admit that my pride got me in conflict with people such as my parents, brothers, spouse, colleagues, and even bosses at work.

When I had my miscarriage four weeks ago, I realized how bad I've become because of my pride. It was like a movie wherein I had a flash back of what happened in my past. I felt terrible thinking that I could have been a better person had I set aside my pride a lot of times. I could have been a better human being had I followed the scriptures.

I know I cannot turn the time back. Yet, I'm aware that I can have a better future now that I've accepted that I am nothing without God. I am His humble servant and I can only be the best of what and who I want to be when I have Him in my life...


if I can only be as humble as a kid just like my sone Boris here always...

swallow?

"Swallowing your pride is not gonna kill you. I don't think keeping them would kill you either."

For the past years and up until now, my pride has been into consideration when it comes to my decision making. I had to weigh things and know when it's about time to swallow my pride and when it's time to keep them.

I was told that swallowing my pride is not gonna kill me. I know it's true. Nevertheless, I also believe that it's not gonna hurt a bit if I'd keep it. Not that I have to have it with me always. It's just that I'm a person of my principles. I'm never gonna bow down to someone who doesn't deserve any respect from me. In the same manner that I'd kiss someone's ass if it's worth it. Ayt?!!

ihi

"Ang taas ng ihi mo pare."

Minsan ay nasambit yan sa aking ng isang taong naging bahagi ng buhay ko. Nanahimik lang ako ng sinabi nya yun.

Naisip ko, maaaring mataas nga ang ihi ko. Totoo na hindi ako madaling magpakumbaba. Pero marunong akong humingi ng tawad kung kinakailangan. Marunong akong tumanggap ng pagkakamali. Hindi ako nagdudunung-dunungan.

Kung negatibo para sa iba ang ugali kong iyon, wala akong magagawa. Yun ako. Hindi ako nagpapailalim sa kung sinu-sino lang o nagsusunud-sunuran kung hindi nararapat. Ipinaglalaban ko ang bagay na sa palagay ko ay tama, sukdulang may magalit sa akin. Alam ko kung kailan dapat sumuko, pero hindi ako sumusuko kung walang mabuting idudulot ang pagsukong iyon.

Naniniwala ako na hindi lahat ng laban ay kailangang maipanalo, ngunit dapat ay lumaban ka sa abot ng iyong kakayahan.


paano kaya kung ganito mangyari pag mababa ang ihi? hehehe!!!
